Reference: Objectivity of Space & Time
-
Time is the ordering principle.
-
We view time when we view order.
-
We view order among parts through the view of whole.
-
The order becomes more balanced as the context broadens.
-
The viewpoint develops from personal to universal.
-
A personal viewpoint is narrow when it is looking through personal bias, prejudice, fixed idea, assumption and blind faith. We may call it a “self-centric” viewpoint.
-
A universal viewpoint is broad when it is inclusive of all things from which to view. We may call it a “scientific” viewpoint.
-
Formation of viewpoint begins with physical sense experience.
-
The physical sense experience consists of electrical impulses arriving at the brain through physical sense channels.
-
The physical sense experience is interpreted into ideas and images by genetically programmed associations in DNA.
-
The mental sense develops as it interprets order among these ideas and images through an intuitive sense of logical consistency.
-
The overall context broadens as the physical and mental experience broadens.
-
Logical inconsistencies present themselves as the overall context broadens.
-
Objectivity develops as logical inconsistencies are resolved.
-
And viewpoint develops from “self-centric” toward “scientific”.
The logical consistency is determined within a personal context at first. As the context broadens toward universality, the logical consistency improves to become increasingly objective.
Viewpoint is objective when it is logically consistent within a broad universal context.
